It's a silver dime kind of day

Hey everyone, went out detecting for a little while and found a bunch of cool stuff at 3 different sites. 2 coins, a flat button, a part of an old thermometer, and something i'm not sure what it is. I dug up an 1876 seated dime, it's in pretty bad shape but it's my first seated so i'm excited. I also dug a 1919 Mercury dime which is in beautiful shape . I got a flat button that still has a little bit of gilt on the front and a shank on the back and says Haydens and Co best extra rich. While following a stream i found a piece of an old thermometer which is pretty neat. I also dug up a square pewter item that i'm not sure what it is, if anybody knows what it is it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking

The 'mystery' pewter relic is a very cool find!
Congrats on the Seated and the Merc too!

Nice finds!! I also found a button like that recently, any idea as to how old it is? I figured mine was more modern based on the writing on back.

Wonderful dimes! If the decorative pewter thing will lie flat on a table, my wild guess is that maybe it was placed on an entrance table for people to place their calling cards in when they came to visit, back in those old-fashioned days when that calling card custom was "all the rage" with the "refined" crowd of humans. lol (I'm just laughing a lot at all us humans tonite, it was that kind of a day.)

Thanks! I think that mine is probably from the mid 1800's, but i may be wrong.
